Over the summer, the New York-based duo, Skewville, created a large bold lettered piece with the words “It’s What’s Outside That Counts” on the exterior of The Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art.

Whoever owns this building in Chicago chose a quality cast of artists informally trained in the art of decorating exteriors. The buildings first paint additions started with the Skewville roller and the Roa characters. Now, the building has been officially pimped and covered with additional work from Reyes, Pose, Omens, and Amuse.

Reminiscent of throwing old kicks over wires, Skewville often throws their own custom kicks in the air to be left dangling. Made of wood, cut out, and painted, often the wires can be tricky to throw at. Check out this video as they run around the city of Chicago.

We know of Skewville quite well, as we featured them on the site with an extensive interview last year. Tonight, January 14 in San Francisco, Skewville opens a new exhibition, Playground Tactics. This will be Skewville’s first solo project with White Walls, curated by Tova Lobatz, with approximately 30 pieces and an installation that will encompass and connect the Skewville style to the indoor space.

Skewville, who we featured on the site a few months back, has a new show going up at High Roller Society in London, and our London correspondent, Butterfly, captured the artist in video as he prepared his solo show, Slow Your Roll, that opens this Saturday, March 19. More after the jump . . .

Our Helen Soteriou sits down with Queens, New York-based Skewville, the roaming artists known for throwing wooden sneakers over wires across the globe. From NYC to London, and Berlin to the Mayan Temples of Mexico, Skewville have taken these sneakers you see here and made them postcard moments. Interview after the jump . . .
